Dame, Scoot and Jrue all in the same back court. Crowded backcourt but definitely some talent..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Best thing possible for all involved. He was never coming to Boston and you don’t want to see him even at his diminished age in Miami in the East. So great move

Could not agree more. Did not want. Never made sense to me. Didn't like the fit at all. And THIS makes sense based on everything I've ever read about Dame. He's simply a different dude and winning a ring means SIGNIFICANTLY less than being close to his kids. Can't even hate on the choice. And now we can finally put this all to bed and get back to figuring out how to get a quality big onto this roster to compete for a title.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Nobody is happier than JD Davison!! :lol:

I told people he wasn't signing for the vet min. I didn't expect $14 million per season.

...except maybe Joe Cronin, who trades him for assets and then gets him back. And of course, his kids.
